In a world where nations and people are ever more dependent upon on another to supply goods and services, solve political disputes, and ensure international security, understanding other cultures is paramount. Lack of intercultural sensitivity can lead to mistrust and misunderstandings, as well as to an inability to cooperate, negotiate, and compromise. A person competent in other languages can bridge the gap between cultures, contribute to international diplomacy and successfully engage in international trade. For that reason, TLC is a top quality provider of language services such as translations, interpreting, teaching and bilingual sales with clients in Europe, America and Asia.
